The Herod stories are the ones that truly label the NT as fiction. First, the underlying reason for Mary and Joseph being in Bethlehem at all was to pay taxes, showing that the authors knew nothing about the procedures Romans used to collect taxes. Second, why in the world would Joseph take his late term pregnant wife with him - riding on a donkey!? It's interesting to note that Mary doesn't become a virgin for another 3 hundred years.
